What it does

Written by AI from the README

Connects Zotero to your local DeepSeek Harness (dsh) so you can ask about items or passages. Citations are checked against the text actually sent, and answers can be saved as notes. Needs Node and dsh.

Other AI plugins use their own model. This runs your own dsh profile, with its tools and knowledge base, from a Zotero dialog.

Your review is public, under the name you give, and published with the directory's data under CC BY 4.0. Links are removed. We never store your IP address: a scrambled code made from it is kept for 30 days to catch fake reviews. Every review is checked before it's published; how fake ones are spotted isn't published, so it can't be gamed.
